Shut off water fall
I live in Northwest Iowa and this is the first winter I have a pond with
a waterfall. Could you tell me what you do with the waterfall.Do you just shut the waterfall off and let it drain back to the skimmer? Or do you keep the waterfall running all winter? I want to make sure I do the right thing because I dont want to break any water lines going up to the waterfall or the skimmer or pump.........Thank You.......Daryl in Iowa. |

I shut my waterfall off in the winter (Colorado, Zone 6) because if you let it run, the ice that forms around it might divert the water and drain your pond. And you might not be aware of it for a while if there is ice on the pond. My waterfall supply line comes off the pump, which sits on the bottom of the pond and pulls water through my filter, so I just disconnect the supply line to the waterfall and blow it out. I keep the pump and filter running through the winter, in order to keep the water clean and provide some surface motion to keep a hole open in the ice. Hope this helps, Gary |
